158 West 83rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
158 West 83rd Street is a 22-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1911 in Manhattan's Upper West Side, currently owned by Paul Brensilber. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, unsanitary conditions (including mold), and ceiling problems, leading to both Class A and B violations in apartment 6F. The property has a concerning history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in late 2021 and early 2024.
There have also been recurring rodent issues, with the most recent rat activity reported in October 2024, though a compliance inspection in November 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building's maintenance record shows periodic violations related to safety equipment, including a 2024 violation for a defective smoke detector in apartment 4B and a carbon monoxide detector issue. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations related to building systems and maintenance, including plumbing issues in December 2021, flooring problems in early 2024, and several violations regarding encumbrances and debris in public areas identified in April 2024.
Historically, there have been concerns about unauthorized after-hours work, with violations and fines issued in late 2019. However, the building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free, with no reported infestations or necessary eradications since the tracking began in 2018. The elevator system had a notable issue in 2019 regarding failure to correct previous defects, which was eventually dismissed, though a 2021 Category 5 inspection failure remains active.
